Search Tips

Enter search word(s) or term(s) in one or more search fields. Begin by entering your term(s) in the Keyword field(s). If the search results are too high, then use the other search fields and the media options in the right column to narrow your search results.

Between the two Keyword search fields are three Boolean search term options: And, Or, Not. Use these buttons to control how the search engine combines the terms in the two Keyword search fields.

AND - narrows results to only those which have BOTH terms

OR - widens results to everything with EITHER term

NOT - only results that include the first term but not the second

Use "quotation marks" around phrases to search for that exact phrase. Without them the search results will contain every record with the combined words and with each individual word.

In the search results, use the Filter Results options in the left column to narrow your search to specific subsets: media type, language, date range, available online, etc.

Virtual Vietnam Archive Notice - Please Read

The Vietnam Center and Archive strives to collect and provide free and open access to a full history of the Vietnam War. In order to achieve this goal, we collect materials that represent all aspects, all viewpoints, and all sides of the war. Some of those materials contain foul language, derogatory terms, and objectionable material and images, which some people might find offensive. While we are committed to providing patrons with access to all materials in our collections, the views contained within those documents are those of the authors and do not reflect those of the Vietnam Center and Archive or Texas Tech University. We provide access to these historical records as an unvarnished representation of wartime events and we do not edit or sanitize historical materials to align with any viewpoint. We believe strongly in promoting candid discussion and scholarship of all aspects of the Vietnam War, even if it means including materials that we personally find objectionable.
